Re: 52 Project
I really like the table. They did a very good job with the design, the only thing I would like is the bigger one. I think we can get the other table separately and put them together but that will be a while. It is heavy enough to not dance around while you are welding but not to heavy to move, although it is still pretty heavy to move by yourself. Now I need to start really cranking on the truck.

Re: 52 Project
Well I bet you guys thought I disappeared...lol. I have been doing some boring rust repair and been doing a bunch if stuff that needed to get done around the house. I actually got some picture worthy stuff done today. When I did the steering column I had to put the column right in the bend between the firewall and the floor. That created a problem trying to secure the bottom of the column. I thought about several different solutions and this is the one that I came up with. We got a swivel ball and I built an enclosure to secure it. Here are a few pictures of what I did today....Enjoy.

Re: 52 Project
I went down to my dads today and we were test fitting the front fenders and inner fenders. I thought they went together pretty nice but I had a WTF moment. The passenger side appears to bolt to the firewall but the drivers side is about 2 inches from the firewall. I think I am missing a bracket or something on the drivers side. I looked at a couple of other builds but don't really see what I need. Mylow53 had a picture that looked like the bracket I need. Does anyone have a good picture of how that goes together? Here are a couple of pictures of our mock up. Hopefully this will be the last time before the final paint and assembly.

Re: 52 Project
Yes, you're missing a bracket. I'll get you a picture later tonight.

Re: 52 Project
Dig through your parts boxes and look for something like this:
I don't have good access right now, but in a few days I can get you better pictures of how it mounts.

http://www.classicparts.com/images/37-791.jpg A weatherstrip kit for under the hood that I had ordered from classic industries came with a piece of rubber that goes around the edge of the filler panels to create a seal. Otherwise, I would've completely forgotten to put them back on. MG

Re: 52 Project
Did some more fitting today between helping my son on his car. Got the hood mounted but still need to do some adjusting but this is all just to make sure we have everything we need before final painting and assembly. Also we got a new bolt kit for the hood but the shoulders seem long....is there some washers or spacers that we are missing? I also got the front lower panel cut and fitted (the one that goes in front of the radiator and attaches to the grill ). I still need to cut it back a little more... I cut it and rolled the edge so I will have to do that again but that's ok. Anyway here are a couple of it today and also the new Mar-K bed that has been in attic was uncrated today so I will add a couple of pictures of that too.

Here's another good picture of the inner fender bracket if you're still looking (not mine):

Re: 52 Project
Thanks Bluejeep, dad ordered one from LMC truck and it seems like the right one. Looks just like the one in the above picture.
Do you know if the hood hinge bolts just a spacer or belleville washer on them? Seems like a lot of space between the head of the bolt and the hinge. I am talking about the hinge to hood interface. I should have taken some pictures of what I am talking about but didn't think about it. Bernie |

Is the bolt threads too long and bottoming out in the captured nut in the hood?
